Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a CO2 membrane separation and enrichment device, including an outer shell 1. An inlet pipe 2 and an enriched gas outlet pipe 3 are respectively connected to both sides of the outer shell 1. The right rear end of the enriched gas outlet pipe 3 is connected to a tail gas outlet pipe 4. A fixing frame 8 is installed inside the outer shell 1. The fixing frame 8 includes multiple parallel membranes 5 inside. A gas distribution plate 6 is arranged between the membranes 5. Multiple gas through holes 7 are evenly distributed on the gas distribution plate 6. A slider 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing frame 8. A sliding rod 18 is slidably installed at the bottom of the slider 17. The bottom of the sliding rod 18 is connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1.

[0025] This technical solution, by setting up a gas distribution plate 6, enables the gas entering the membrane 5 to be evenly distributed, improving the effective utilization rate of the membrane, thereby enhancing the separation efficiency and enrichment concentration of CO2. The use of a sliding fixing frame 8 and slider 17 structure makes the replacement and maintenance of the membrane 5 more convenient and quick, reducing downtime and operating costs. The gas distribution plate 6 is made of porous ceramic material and has undergone special treatment, which not only enhances the uniformity of gas distribution but also improves the membrane's antifouling ability and extends the service life of the membrane 5.

[0026] Example 2:

[0027] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, a sealing cover 9 is provided on the top of the outer shell 1, and connecting seats 10 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the top of the fixing frame 8. A snap-fit ​​block 11 is snap-fitted into the inside of the connecting seat 10 through a snap-fit ​​groove. The upper end of the snap-fit ​​block 11 is connected to the bottom of the sealing cover 9. A guide plate 12 is fixedly installed on the front and rear ends of the left side of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. The guide plates 12 are symmetrically distributed on the outside of the right end of the air intake pipe 2.

[0028] Adopting such Figure 1 The technical solution shown is that the sealing cover 9 is installed on the top of the fixed frame 8 by snapping the connecting block 11 to the connecting seat 10. This method does not require complicated tools and complicated operating procedures. When it is necessary to inspect, maintain or replace parts inside the device, the sealing cover 9 can be quickly removed. The operation is simple and can effectively reduce downtime and improve work efficiency. After the snapping block 11 is accurately snapped into the snapping groove of the connecting seat 10, it can ensure that the sealing cover 9 and the outer shell 1 are tightly fitted to form a good sealing effect. This helps to prevent CO2 or other gas leakage, ensure the normal flow of gas inside the device and the stability of the separation process, and also avoid the harm to the environment and operators caused by the leakage of harmful gases.

[0029] Secondly, in the technical solution, filling pads 13 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, and the inner side of the filling pads 13 is in contact with the outer side of the fixing frame 8; positioning frames 14 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the left end of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 and on the right side of the guide plate 12. A support spring 15 is fixedly installed inside the positioning frame 14, and a fastening plate 16 is fixedly installed on the right end of the support spring 15. The right side of the fastening plate 16 is engaged with the protruding part on the left side of the fixing frame 8.

[0030] Its adoption is as follows Figure 1The technical solution shown has a filling pad 13 that fits snugly against the outside of the mounting bracket 8, effectively filling the gaps between the outer casing 1 and the mounting bracket 8. This prevents gas from leaking out of these gaps, which is crucial for ensuring the sealing performance of the CO2 membrane separation and enrichment device. It helps maintain stable internal pressure and improves the efficiency of CO2 separation and enrichment. During device operation, some vibration may occur. The filling pad 13 can act as a buffer and shock absorber, reducing direct collisions and friction between the mounting bracket 8 and the outer casing 1, reducing noise, and protecting the mounting bracket 8 and the outer casing 1 from damage, thus extending the lifespan of the device. The positioning bracket 14 provides an accurate installation position for the fixed bracket 8, allowing the fixed bracket 8 to be quickly and accurately installed into the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. The combination of the support spring 15 and the fastening plate 16 forms an elastic fastening structure. The elastic force of the support spring 15 allows the fastening plate 16 to be tightly engaged with the protruding part on the left side of the fixed bracket 8. Even if vibration or slight displacement occurs during the operation of the device, the support spring 15 can automatically adjust the fastening force to ensure a stable connection of the fixed bracket 8. This elastic fastening method can avoid component damage or loosening problems that may be caused by rigid connection.

[0031] Example 3:

[0032] This utility model is as follows Figures 1-6 As shown, the fixture 8 is rectangular in shape and covers the outside of the diaphragm 5 and the gas distribution plate 6. The upper part of the fixture 8 is snap-fitted. The top of the sealing cover 9 has an inspection port, and the top of the inspection port is sealed with a cover plate.

[0033] Using the above technical solution, the fixing frame 8 is rectangularly arranged and covers the outside of the diaphragm 5 and the gas distribution plate 6, providing physical protection for the diaphragm 5 and the gas distribution plate 6 to prevent them from being damaged by collisions, scratches or other external objects, ensuring the integrity and stability of the diaphragm 5 and the gas distribution plate 6, thereby ensuring the normal operation of CO2 separation and enrichment. The upper part of the fixing frame 8 is installed by snap-fit, which makes the installation and disassembly process simple and quick, without complicated tools and operations. When it is necessary to replace or repair the diaphragm 5 or the gas distribution plate 6, the fixing frame 8 can be opened quickly, improving maintenance efficiency and reducing the downtime of the device.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: A mixed gas containing CO2 enters the interior of the outer shell 1 through the inlet pipe 2. The guide plate 12 guides and disperses the entering mixed gas, which allows the mixed gas to flow more evenly to the diaphragm 5 and gas distribution plate 6 inside the fixed frame 8. After the mixed gas enters the interior of the fixed frame 8, it first passes through the gas distribution plate 6. The gas distribution plate 6 has multiple gas through holes 7 evenly distributed on it. These through holes further disperse the mixed gas evenly, ensuring that each diaphragm 5 can fully contact the mixed gas. The diaphragm 5 has special separation performance. It can selectively allow CO2 gas to pass through, while other gases are difficult to pass through. In this process, CO2 gas gradually passes through the diaphragm 5, achieving separation from other gases. The CO2 gas that passes through the diaphragm 5 gradually accumulates inside the fixed frame 8, and then is discharged from the outer shell 1 through the enriched gas discharge pipe 3, thus obtaining enriched CO2 gas. Other gases that do not pass through the diaphragm 5, that is, the exhaust gas, will gradually accumulate inside the fixed frame 8, and finally be discharged from the outer shell 1 through the exhaust gas discharge pipe 4 connected to the rear side of the enriched gas discharge pipe 3.

[0035] The elastic force of the support spring 15 makes the fastening plate 16 tightly clamped to the protruding part on the left side of the fixed frame 8, ensuring the stability of the fixed frame 8 during the operation of the device. At the same time, when it is necessary to disassemble the fixed frame 8, it is only necessary to overcome the elastic force of the support spring 15. The right part of the outer shell 1 is a detachable design and can be appropriately removed. When it is necessary to maintain the fixed frame 8 or replace internal parts, the fixed frame 8 can be easily pulled out or pushed in from the outer shell 1 by sliding the slider 17 on the slide rod 18, which reduces the difficulty of operation.
